  • Experience a collaborative approach to healing

Groups and events

Groups provide an environment in which growth, connection to self and others along with development of confidence in self-expression is supported. For this reason, healing is often accelerated in a group work environment!

I facilitate groups with a focus on creativity and fun, supporting wellbeing while we dive into self-reflection.

Programs I am certified to deliver:

  • PEERS - an evidence-based social skills program developed by UCLA for young people

  • The MacKillop Institute’s Stormbirds disaster recovery program, and the Seasons for Growth programs for supporting people around change, grief and loss

  • Art for Wellbeing: creative art therapy and discussion groups.

  • Teen programs for development self-confidence and self-esteem

  • A Disaster Recovery Program involving art therapy for bushfire survivors in our community.

  • Community conscious dance events

  • A project to create a Zine with First Nations youths at risk of dropping out of school

What happens in an individual counselling session?

We begin by deciding how we might work together based on what is happening in your life and your goals.

We collaborate at each step along the way. I will suggest paths we can pursue in our work together and make recommendations around the benefits of each suggestion: and then you get to choose which pathway we choose!

I’ll incorporate evidence-based, focussed psychological strategies into the talk-therapy component of our work, and I’ll provide an opportunity to weave in some creative art therapy modality processes if they sound like they are a good fit for you.

Everything we speak about within a therapy session is strictly confidential - unless I’m concerned about your safety, and then I will flag that with you and we’ll get extra help, together.
